Global Navigation Header
Screen Overview
The Global Navigation Header provides access to all major BluSKY modules and utilities from anywhere in the application. It includes top-level menus (Favorites, Requests, Administration, Setup, Control, Intelligence) as well as quick utilities for language selection, help, customer support, and the user menu. The BluSKY logo functions as a home link.
